About this app

◆ 50 MILLION USERS ◆

Yuka scans food & personal care products to decipher their ingredients and evaluate their impact on your health.

In a world of incomprehensible labels, Yuka provides clarity in one quick scan so you can make clear-sighted purchases.

Yuka uses a simple color code to inform you of the product's impact on your health: excellent, good, mediocre, or poor. You can access a detailed info page for each product, to help you understand its grade.

◆ 3 MILLION FOOD PRODUCTS ◆

Every product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional value, additives, and the organic dimension of the product.

◆ 3 MILLION COSMETIC PRODUCTS ◆

The scoring method relies on analyzing all of the product's ingredients. Every ingredient is assigned a level of risk, based on current scientific research.

◆ BEST PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS ◆

For any product with a negative grade, Yuka will recommend in total independence a similar product that's better for your health as an alternative.

◆ 100% INDEPENDENT ◆

Yuka is a 100% independent application. This means that product evaluations and recommendations are completely objective: no brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. In addition, the application does not advertise. Find out more about our funding on our website.

Ratings and reviews

I think this app is a great start to help make more informed choices that could help people, whether they're making lifestyle choices for their health or other reasons. The biggest drawback for me is that the number of triggers I can filter are pretty limited. Gluten free, vegan, they've got that. But when all their healthiest alternatives include key ingredients that I'm allergic to, but they list as no risk, it's less effective than it could be. Coconut & zinc may work for some, but not me.

I love this app. It has benefited my informed food choices so much. I'm subscribed to premium and follow the email newsletters. Just some suggestions: add a grid view option along with the current list view, a social feature to connect with friends and see what they're scanning, and more labels such as gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, etc. Also, I wish we could see the user uploaded pictures of the Nutrition Facts label and ingredients list on each product's page!

Absolutely Love this app! Has helped me a lot with beauty products I thought were healthy and arn't. The premium is 10-20 dollars a year, you get to pick how much you pay! They recommend you healthier products! In the premium they include a filter, you can choose to only see certain products. E.g. Vegan, pork free, ect. They cite their sources! I wish they had the option to not see animal tested products. No adds! There are 3 things I would change before I call it perfect! :))
